Centering Die
It is very important to have the center of force of the die located in line with the centerline of connecting rod pull to
prevent unnecessary tipping of bridge and movement of the bridge lugs. To help center dies in the press, a die-mounting template
has been supplied with the press.
CAUTION: Before mounting dies, turn off motor and return wrap around safety device to its back or "safe"
position.
If it is necessary to have an unbalanced load, bearers should be inserted for balance. When using bearers, note that
bearers increase the load on the press, while decreasing the available cutting load.
FOIL PULLING SYSTEM
The Value Line Foil Pulling System supplied with your machine is a programmable, computer controlled device
equipped with an unwind section where the new rolls of foil are mounted, a set of guide rolls, two drive rolls and two rewind
shafts.
The desired length of pull is programmed with thumbwheel switches on the control panel. Each roll may be individually
controlled to repeat the pre-programmed index length indefinitely or instructed to perform "feed and clean" cycles if required.
The Value Line Foil Puller is divided into three major sections:
• foil unwind
• foil puller/foil rewind
• programmer
CAUTION: Before stringing foil on press, refer to the safety standard for stand-alone presses, ANSI #B65.5-1996, section
18.2, Inch-safe-service method.
INSTRUCTIONS ON PROGRAMMING FOIL PULLER
Press Modes
DIE CUT POSITION: Use this position for die cutting or embossing.
SET POSITION: The foil readout does not function in this position. If changes are to be made to the lengths of the foil pull or to
the number of repeats, the switch must be turned to the set position to enter the new settings into the computer.
Note: The sheet counter will not count when the platen is in the "off impression" position.
Foil Programming Procedure
1. Enter the amount of pull required into the desired roll; either roll 1 or 2.
2. For a single operation enter the same amount of pull into the short pull and the long pull. Set the repeat at "1."
A. For multiple dies enter the required amount of pull into the short pull and the number of repeats.
B. Enter a clearing pull into the long pull. This amount must be greater than the short pull.
3. Place the press mode switch in the "SET" position so that the computer can read the new settings.
4. Return the press mode switch to the "FOIL" position in order to run the press.
5. After making any necessary changes to any pull amounts, step 3 must be repeated.
